E55K vs C32
Thanks go to Pocholin for his diligent effort on behalf of 2 AMiGos. Notice the C32 (my401) gave himself a head start. On the second run he left on the first yellow light!! All in good fun.

Drag race
What were those people thinking when they drag race a Mercedes??
Those people I see in the video don't even have the basic driving skill, the simple driving position is incorrect, seat is too far from the steering wheel, they put one hand on 12 o'clock position of the steering? What happene when they need to counter steer during a slide? I don't even want to go into their driving
Instead of buying a Mercedes, they should stick with a Camero with NOS and a big spoiler wing...

Torque,
People regularly comment that I sit too close to the wheel and pedals. I like to steer with my shoulders and not my arms. Is this correct? When people quite a bit shorter than I sit in my driving position, they still move the seat backwards.
However, in the video, I didn't really see close evidence of their driving position. How can you be so quick to judge them?

i learned my driving position from my sales. He went to the skid barber driving school or something.
i now sit upright and with the distance where i can have both my wrist on the 12 o'clock position with out leaning forward.

One hand!
Hey, Pocholin, what video is this guy talking about? How about you, do you hold the wheel with both hands when you are drag racing? Hell, I have to use one hand to hold the camera, one foot to tap the beat for the light, so that only leaves one hand and one foot to drive. What's this guy, an octopus?
